In this paper, we investigate extreme values of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an elliptic curve with complex multiplication and [Formula: see text] is the number-of-distinct-prime-divisors function. For fixed [Formula: see text], we prove an asymptotic formula for the quantity [Formula: see text]. The same result holds for the quantity [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. This asymptotic formula matches what one might expect, based on a result of Delange concerning extreme values of [Formula: see text]. The argument is worked out in detail for the curve [Formula: see text], and we discuss how the method can be adapted for other CM elliptic curves.

AbstractLet P and Q be two points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. For $$\alpha \in {\text {End}}(E)$$ α ∈ End ( E ) , define $$B_\alpha $$ B α to be the $$\mathcal {O}_K$$ O K -integral ideal generated by the denominator of $$x(\alpha (P)+Q)$$ x ( α ( P ) + Q ) . Let $$\mathcal {O}$$ O be a subring of $${\text {End}}(E)$$ End ( E ) , that is a Dedekind domain. We will study the sequence $$\{B_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in \mathcal {O}}$$ { B α } α ∈ O . We will show that, for all but finitely many $$\alpha \in \mathcal {O}$$ α ∈ O , the ideal $$B_\alpha $$ B α has a primitive divisor when P is a non-torsion point and there exist two endomorphisms $$g\ne 0$$ g ≠ 0 and f so that $$f(P)= g(Q)$$ f ( P ) = g ( Q ) . This is a generalization of previous results on elliptic divisibility sequences.

AbstractConsider an elliptic curve defined over an imaginary quadratic fieldKwith good reduction at the primes abovep≥ 5 and with complex multiplication by the full ring of integersof K. In this paper, we constructp-adic analogues of the Eisenstein-Kronecker series for such an elliptic curve as Coleman functions on the elliptic curve. We then provep-adic analogues of the first and second Kronecker limit formulas by using the distribution relation of the Kronecker theta function.

AbstractLet E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ, of conductor N and without complex multiplication. For any positive integer l, let ϕl be the Galois representation associated to the l-division points of E. From a celebrated 1972 result of Serre we know that ϕl is surjective for any sufficiently large prime l. In this paper we find conditional and unconditional upper bounds in terms of N for the primes l for which ϕl is not surjective.

Abstract A result of the 2nd-named author states that there are only finitely many complex multiplication (CM)-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke’s equidistribution theorem and is hence noneffective. In this article, we give a completely effective proof of this result. To be precise, we show that every singular modulus that is an algebraic unit is associated with a CM-elliptic curve whose endomorphism ring has discriminant less than $10^{15}$. Through further refinements and computer-assisted arguments, we eventually rule out all remaining cases, showing that no singular modulus is an algebraic unit. This allows us to exhibit classes of subvarieties in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ not containing any special points.

AbstractIn 1987, Gordon gave an integer primality condition similar to the familiar test based on Fermat’s little theorem, but based instead on the arithmetic of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove the existence of infinitely many composite numbers simultaneously passing all elliptic curve primality tests assuming a weak form of a standard conjecture on the bound on the least prime in (special) arithmetic progressions. Our results are somewhat more general than both the 1999 dissertation of the first author (written under the direction of the third author) and a 2010 paper on Carmichael numbers in a residue class written by Banks and the second author.

AbstractGiven an elliptic curve E and a positive integer N, we consider the problem of counting the number of primes p for which the reduction of E modulo p possesses exactly N points over 𝔽p. On average (over a family of elliptic curves), we show bounds that are significantly better than what is trivially obtained by the Hasse bound. Under some additional hypotheses, including a conjecture concerning the short-interval distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the average.

AbstractSuppose K is an imaginary quadratic field and E is an elliptic curve over a number field F with complex multiplication by the ring of integers in K. Let p be a rational prime that splits as in K. Let Epn denote the pn-division points on E. Assume that F(Epn) is abelian over K for all n ≥ 0. This paper proves that the Pontrjagin dual of the -Selmer group of E over F(Ep∞) is a finitely generated free Λ-module, where Λ is the Iwasawa algebra of . It also gives a simple formula for the rank of the Pontrjagin dual as a Λ-module.

AbstractWe show that, for most of the elliptic curves E over a prime finite field p of p elements, the discriminant D(E) of the quadratic number field containing the endomorphism ring of E over p is sufficiently large. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct quadratic number fields generated by the endomorphism rings of all elliptic curves over p.

For an elliptic curve$E/\mathbb{Q}$without complex multiplication we study the distribution of Atkin and Elkies primes$\ell$, on average, over all good reductions of$E$modulo primes$p$. We show that, under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, for almost all primes$p$there are enough small Elkies primes$\ell$to ensure that the Schoof–Elkies–Atkin point-counting algorithm runs in$(\log p)^{4+o(1)}$expected time.
